Non Lions Discussion 2024

[Elixuh]

How sick would you be if you were a north fan. Tanking stinks and most of the time doesn't work out in the AFL but seems like that win over gold coast genuinely cost them an incredible incredible player.

In the context of what they did - ie winning a meaningless game last round of the season against another cellar dweller club - I would have been tanked that game. Zero downside. Change my mind.

 

[braddsey]

No way we should be getting ahead of ourselves, still well out of the top 8, we simply must win and get ourselves to the bye at 5-5-1.

I'll be at Marvel on Sunday so I am expecting to walk away happy after a comfortable win, most recent visit to Melbourne last September wasn't a happy ending sadly.

You should have come to the MCG for the Melbourne game. That certainly helped erase some of the September '23 damage.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Are the Dees fair dinkum?!

 

[braddsey]

See you there M Malice.
Looking forward to a game at Marvel where I have never been, so hoping the boys can continue their rise in form.

It's a great stadium for watching football - most seats have a great view. Flipside is sometimes the atmosphere can be a let down, like the acoustics suck the volume out of the crowd. Can make a pretty flat viewing experience... but if the weather is raining outside nothing like everyone being relatively warm and undercover!

Starting to feel nervous about booking my flight to Perth in July when we play the Eagles.

Watching him lift West Coast while just 10 games into his rookie season must be truly sickening for North Supporter. When they're crying out for that exact type of player.

That Adam Simpson smile in the end. Haha, he just doesn't know how to react. He must be pinching himself thinking "omg is this for real.. we just bloody won the lottery here"

That looked very similar to our Harry Sharp last night.

That looked very similar to our Harry Sharp last night.

I'd start to believe when someone's running full pelt behind our Harry and he's bouncing away. Not impossible but he needs time to master that level. Harley looks like a beast straight out of the box. That was Judd-like.

 

[MSB ROYS]

I hope Harley didn't run 16 m without bouncing - FoxFooty will lobby to have the goal ruled ineligible for GOTY.

 

[Elixuh]

Dees brought their own umpires to this match

That's what it looks like to me as well.

He burnt him off initially, but Peteacca didn’t give up the chase and was gaining ground in the end.

 

[CarterS]

Impressed with West Coast.

 

[McIvor]

Impressed with West Coast.

Same; playing them is no gimme four points which I suspect Melbourne thought. We’ll seriously have to be at our best to beat them over there.

 

[scoman]

Harley Reid.

 

[briztoon]

He burnt him off initially, but Peteacca didn’t give up the chase and was gaining ground in the end.

Reid gapped him, gathered the ball, then put distance between the two while taking two bounces. Petracca only started to make ground when Reid started to set himself for a shot on goal while on the run. By the end, Petracca was overstriding and starting to lose his balance and was tipping forward as Reid took his shot on goal.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Harley Reid.

That was some goal.

 

[scoman]

That was some goal.

Hand in the chest as he gathered the ball to gain seperation. Defender had no chance.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Some lamentable officiating going on in Perth.

Not doubting any of that.
My point is that he didn’t give up and was a commendable effort in the end after being blown away initially.
One of the Melbourne forwards should have pushed up to stop his run.
It shouldn’t have been completely left to Petracca.

Would love Eric or Joe to get hand transplants from Jake Waterman

Would love Eric or Joe to get hand transplants from Jake Waterman. Clunking everything.

Maybe it's all in the haircut?

Yep a one handed throw by Oliver and yet nothing to see.
